Seller Insight “Homefield Cottage has been our home since 2018, and it’s a house we’ve loved living in. When we first viewed it, the location was a big draw for us.

Having good transport links was important, but we also wanted somewhere private, peaceful and tucked away.

With its own driveway, generous space and lovely setting, it ticked all the boxes.” “We’ve made a few improvements over the years, including new doors, triple-glazed windows and solar panels, but the house already had so much to offer when we moved in.

We’ve always loved the Aga, particularly during the colder months, and the feature fireplace is a real highlight, especially in winter and at Christmas.” “The kitchen is probably my favourite room, along with the front reception room, where we spend most of our time as a family.

Both are lovely spaces for everyday family life, as well as having people over.

We’ve also made the most of the garden whenever the weather allows.” “The garden is one of the things that makes this house so special.

It’s private and peaceful, with plenty of wildlife, including woodpeckers, squirrels and the occasional deer. Although we have neighbours, the house feels wonderfully secluded.

During lockdown, we were especially grateful for the space, and we built a climbing frame for the children which is still there today.

The views from upstairs, across the garden towards the fields and pine trees, are lovely.” “The size of the house has also made it ideal for entertaining.

We’ve had everything from family get-togethers to birthday celebrations here, including my 40th.

We’ve even managed to fit a bouncy castle into the reception room.” “The village itself has been another real positive.

The local pub is within walking distance, and there’s a lovely community with plenty going on for both adults and children.

From Halloween celebrations to harvest festival events and cake-baking competitions, there’s a real village feel, with WhatsApp groups and you can get involved as much or as little as you like.” “What we’ll miss most is the space, the privacy and the location.

It’s lovely to feel tucked away while still being close to everything you need, with great schools nearby. It really is a fantastic family home.

We’re moving abroad, so it’s time for a new chapter, but we’ll be sad to leave. We’ve been here since 2018 and have made so many memories along the way.

If we could take the house with us, we would.” Village Information Tilbrook is a small village lying approximately two miles north-west of Kimbolton.
